Do you believe the begining was caused by a creator or do you believe there was no cause and that the series of causes and effects is infinite?

It is the nature of man's linear thinking. A beginning, a middle and an end. That is how we write books, make movies, sing songs. We are born, we live and we die. The seed is planted, it grows, it blooms, it goes to seed, it dies and is returned to the earth.
Infinite causes and effects has its appeal.

Why assume you had a beginning.
Do you believe the beginning was caused by a creator or do you believe there was no cause and that the series of causes and effects is infinite?

Actually,science has established that the universe had a beginning.It is not eternal.This is compelling evidence for the existence of God.It works like this:
a)every event has a cause
b)all beginnings involve an event
c)the universe had a beginning
d)this implies an event
e)an event implies a cause
f)a cause that existed before time or matter would have to be eternal and intelligent
This cause was God.
In the end,there has to be a First Cause that came before all other causes.
The cause for time,for example,had to be eternal,because before time existed,nothing could have existed that had a beginning or an end!But something had to exist to create time--something eternal.Of-course,time itself implying the existence of a beginning and an end,it is impossible that time is eternal.Therefore we know that before time existed there was an Eternal Cause that caused all things that Are,Were,or Will Be,to Be.This eternal cause is what us religious folk call God.

Neither. I believe time is a derived aspect of the universe, meaning that the universe as a whole is quite timeless. There may be a beginning at the big bang event, but beginnings do not necessarily imply creation events. The beginning of the natural numbers is zero but numbers were not created at zero. The beginning of the temperature scale is absolute zero but no one believes temperature is created at absolute zero. The big bang is like that, a special event but not a creation event.

Steven Hawking proved the world had a beginning, it is called the Big Bang. Look it up. People often forget that time is relative. There may not have been a "before" the big bang.

I am a believer in the infinity.... No creator, matter shifting form throughout an infinite universe...

God created the world and everything in it.
Okay, so your other option was the Big Bang theory, right?(where all of a sudden the world was just here).
Well want to hear my version of the Big Bang Theory? God said let it be, and BANG, it was.

Because:
In the beginning was the Word And the Word was with God and the Word was God.
All things were created by him.

Is it not scientific to say--If something is it is bound to have had an origin.
